Comment on A library without books? by Jonathan K.

I toured that Library last week, and it is the best of all worlds. They did NOT discard all the traditional books….stacks are still present They added access to tens of milions of e-texts (for free) and over 150 e-readers for the students and faculty to borrow. I have never seen so much interest and activity in a library. I went in as a skeptic, but I’m convinced. Check it out if you can.

The second program by Jayme Karen reminded me of the program Natala has this past summer for the students from her school. Kudos to Natala for being right up there with the leaders from Plano.

Comment on What is your mission? by Mary Mc

This was a challenging group to be a part of. We really had to go in-depth & examine what we do, why & how well do we do it. At times it made my brain hurt. There was a great feeling of accomplishment when we finished many in-depth meetings and we arrived at our final draft. I take great pride in being a Mesquite Librarian!

Thanks again for helping us discover new stuff “out there.” This would really be fun to use with old family pictures if you could get your older relatives to comment!

I think this document is a fantastic advocacy tool! It exemplifies the relevance of the successful school library today, and I think it’s inspirational for those of us just a few steps behind you as we guide our libraries and schools through today’s transformation.

Your librarians, teachers are students are fortunate to have your leadership and vision! Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us too, as we look to the future!

The Hunger Games was the FIRST book in the history of our school bookclub (three years now) that EVERYONE liked! I, too, love the book and am anxiously awaiting the sequel.

Thanks for sharing the cartoon – what a nightmare!

When I saw the demo for this I thought it was utterly amazing. My biggest problem is thinking what to search.
